In the South – brides have bridal sessions before their wedding. They use the photos to display at the reception and just to have – it is a FABULOUS idea! I emailed some of my brides letting them know that this would be an option – and Stephanie knew she needed to schedule!

Stephanie and Zackery were married today so it’s safe to show you the photos now!

Our first session was at an orchard in Canton – with her reception gown! After this session I couldn’t find my phone – lost in the orchard forever!

Every bride should do a bridal session about a month before the wedding – it’s so relaxed and you have no place to be!

We met a few weeks later for her second session with her ceremony gown! We borrowed a chair – an old, antique chair from a family friend of Stephanie’s and in the midst of our session it was stolen and we had to call the cops. I felt like I was being filmed for an episode of COPS! The chair has since been found and will hopefully be fixed – since it was damaged in the kidnapping process.

It worked out GREAT for our session!

Thank you so much Stephanie! You are such a beautiful person and I am so blessed to have met you!

Ashley & Lance are getting married in September! Originally KT was their photographer (more on that in a later engagement post) but the talented Bridget Reed will be photographing their special day – since I have a wedding already!

Ashley’s parents have a BEAUTIFUL farm in Canton – where we took the pictures!
